"Um?"
Duan Mutian and Zong Qing turned their heads at the same time, looking at the wall with strange expressions on their faces.
There is Shipyard Thirteen here, but except for the one where the three of them are, there should be no one else.
"Who's there!"
Bai He stood up suddenly, stretched out his long neck slightly, and the fluctuations of the God Transformation Realm spread out, and he was ready for battle.
"Bai He, don't be rude."
Zong Qing came over and patted his shoulder, then his red eyes seemed to see a blurry figure through the wall.
"When did you come?" Duan Mutian also asked.
"Just arrived."
The voice came again, but for some reason, it didn't appear for a long time.
"We're already next door, since my black energy didn't notice it." Duan Mutian whispered, and then asked with a smile: "Why don't you come over and sit down?"
"No."
The elegant voice sounded a little weak, and said: "I am just a split soul here. There is no spiritual power fluctuation. Brother Duan cannot sense it. This is normal. But if I go one step further, I will be shocked by this black energy." It has to be crushed.”
"I see."
Duan Mutian was relieved. It would be too scary if the other party's true form arrived and he was so close without being noticed.
On the side, Bai He had already reacted. Judging from his appearance, the visitor must know Duan Mu Tianzong Qing, and he is also a strong man from the same camp.
"Did you just say that you met Brother Gu?" Zong Qing asked.
"Yes, we met in the foothills somewhere and chatted for a few words." The voice responded.
"What's his attitude?" Duan Mutian was serious.
"It's still unknown." The figure shook his head.
Afterwards, the three of them fell into silence and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Um, I'm sorry, three adults, please tell me who this Gu Xingzhou is?"
Finally, Bai He on the side had no choice but to speak out, breaking the silence.
The three of them all looked at it. Bai He was under great pressure for a moment, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Unknown variables are not allowed in my plan, otherwise it will affect the calculation! Please let me know, adults!"
Hearing this, Zong Qing and Duan Mutian looked at each other, and the former sighed: "A man who is stronger than us, a real strong man."
"Strong?"
Bai He frowned, and couldn't help but recall the Immortal Jue List again, and found that there was no such name like the red sleeve before.
"How strong is he?" Bai He asked suspiciously.
"Very strong!"
Zong Qing glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Not only is he powerful in terms of strength, he also has an excellent character. In the past, everyone in the organization would call him big brother."
"Brother? Has he... ever been on the Immortal Ranking?" Bai He asked.
"I went there once and only stayed for one day." Zong Qing said with an incomprehensible smile.
Bai He nodded, a trace of disdain flashed deep in his eyes, and did not ask any more questions.
In his opinion, the Immortal Ranking has only been on the list once, and it only stayed for one day.
Why should we pay attention to this kind of people?
On the side, Duan Mutian keenly captured this scene. After thinking about it, he walked straight to Bai He and examined him.
"Mutian, don't meet with the juniors." Zong Qing reminded.
"No problem."
Duan Mutian looked at Bai He, who was also observing him, and said slowly: "Do you know why we call Gu Xingzhou our eldest brother?"
Although Bai He didn't care much, he still politely raised his hands and said, "I hope Daozi will clear up my confusion."
Duan Mutian nodded slightly and said: "If we talk about why the Xiao organization was able to develop and grow a hundred years ago, apart from the founder Xu Yue, Gu Xingzhou must account for at least half of the credit."
Hearing this, Bai He felt a chill in his heart and waited for the other party to continue speaking.
"At the beginning, Gu Xingzhou was one of the first members to join the organization. It was also him who traveled around and recruited talents, and it gradually gained its later scale."
"Brother Zongcai also said just now that Gu Xingzhou is older than us. It would be inappropriate to say he is from the previous generation, but it would be inappropriate to include him in our generation."
"So, at that time, a group of young people in their twenties and I were no different from younger brothers and sisters in front of him."
"He has even taught us Taoism and taught us things. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the guide for our group of people to cultivate Taoism."
After Duan Mutian finished speaking, Zong Qing and the figure next door fell into silence without any rebuttal.
As for Bai He, as the only one present who was not a member of the organization, he was already confused.
He never expected that there would be such a big brother-like character in the prestigious Akatsuki organization a hundred years ago.
"But...but even so, you should just respect him and shouldn't be as solemn as before, right?" Bai He asked in turn.
"No, I said, he is a real strong man."
Zong Qing interrupted, walked over, and made a "five" gesture to Bai He.
"What do you mean, young master?" Bai He asked in confusion.
"Once, there was an internal discussion in the organization. At that time, five people formed a team and besieged Gu Xingzhou."
Zong Qing looked at Bai He's slowly shrinking pupils, pressed down his five fingers one by one, and with each finger he pulled back, he said a name that made Bai He's heart tremble.
"Mu Tian, Jiang Li, Mu Chuxuan, Meng Ding, and him!"
Zong Qing suddenly looked to the next door. There was a vague figure there, although it was far away, it was still looming.
"Five of us will fight against Gu Xingzhou, and we won't be victorious!"
Boom!
Like a thunder, it exploded in Bai He's heart.
What is the concept of these five people?
Their names are like thunder in the fairyland!
Their rankings are almost all in the top ten of the Immortal Ranking!
Behind them are five giants who can dominate the ups and downs of the Immortal Realm!
Each of them is a genius who can easily leapfrog challenges!
But five people joined forces to fight against one person, and they ended up losing?
"This...how is this possible?" Bai He forced a smile on his face. He had always relied on data to speak, and he was trying to convince himself that this was not true.
Zong Qing's eyes flickered and he said no more.
He did not participate in that battle, only watching as a bystander.
But Zong Qing believed that even if he and the above five people were randomly exchanged, the result would still be the same.
The ancient boat at that time was too powerful.
At this time, the elegant voice next door came again: "Brother Zong is right, we did not win that battle."
"Well, at that time, Gu Xingzhou's cultivation level was a big level higher than ours, and it was a leapfrog challenge. Although our side had the upper hand in the subsequent battles, it was still unbeatable for the five of us... Defeat." Duan Mutian's tone was slow, and he still remembered that battle freshly.
"That's it, that's okay, that's okay..."
Bai He wiped his sweat and finally calmed down, but then he suddenly raised his head and asked, "That's not right! If so, why is his ranking on the Immortal Ranking so... thin?"
Duan Mutian smiled and said slowly: "Brother Gu has indeed only been on the Immortal Ranking once. It was the time when one against five, and he was directly eliminated from the list and ranked second... Then that day, he kept waiting with me for a few seconds. People fight, deliberately lose, and let themselves fall off the list for unknown reasons.”
Bai He was silent, his ideas were impacted.
But no matter what, the name Gu Xingzhou has been deeply imprinted in his soul, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
